It is the desire of knowledge, the passion of flying, the necessity of feeling the life throbbing in the earth and inside of himself, through the contact with the nature, the air and the energy which the sun gives us.

His life

Since graduation from the Parisian University of Sport, Angelo d'Arrigo has devoted himself to "extreme" sports. A licensed instructor for hang-gliders and paragliders, a ski instructor and Alpine guide, he is fortunately able to make a living from his passions in life.

From Mont Blanc to Cervino, from L'Aiguille Verte to L'Aiguille du Midi, he has been able to express his "Art" with formidable success.

With his team, known in France as "Les Funambulles de l'Extreme", he also plans to operate outside Europe: in the Himalayas and the Andes.

While making a documentary for the French TV company Antenne 2, Angelo first flew over the highest volcano in Europe, while in full eruption: Etna.

Attracted by the contrast of the elements in this landscape, he decided to establish himself on the flanks of the volcano and set up ETNA FLY National School of Hang-gliding.

Located in a unique and spectacular setting, where the four elements AIR WATER EARTH and FIRE commingle, this free-flight training centre has developed into a tourist village based on the practice of extreme sports: the No Limits Etna Center. It was at the inauguration of the NO LIMITS FLYING CENTER that Angelo met up with his old friend from Paris, Patrick de Gayardon. Together they created an air show that involved each in his own speciality. The name of this show was "THE DREAM OF ICARUS".

After years of professional sports and two world titles, Angelo decided to withdraw from the competitive circuit and devote himself to record flights.
He became part of the No Limits Sector Team where he plans, organizes and realizes free-flight sporting events.

"Pushing our limits a little further back each day, step by step we conquer the fears which stop or limit us from taking possession of our own existence."

Angelo's sporting achievements include the following:
- 1st place World Cup (seedings 90)
- 1st place World Cup Hydroplane (Guadalupe 92)
